After Gwendolyn left the guest room, she called Justin. She was swamped that day and had no time to
watch her children. Even though Justin and Julian were present, she was worried that something would
happen to Juliette because of their oversight.
Soon, the call was connected. “Mommy.”
“Justin, where are you guys? Is Juliette being good today?” Gwendolyn asked.
“Mommy, we're in the main hall. Juliette is dancing, and she's been behaving well today,” Justin
answered after glancing at Juliette, who had attracted many guests with her performance and was
completely immersed in her own fairytale world.
Justin and Julian were perfectly capable of taking proper care of Juliette.
Gwendolyn let out a sigh of relief. “That's great. Many guests will be here today. Bring Juliette with you
to the guest room after you guys are done playing and wait for me there. After the banquet, we'll all go
home together.”
“Okay, Mommy!” Justin responded.
With that, Gwendolyn hung up the phone. Meanwhile, Nicolette was photographing Gwendolyn as she

Instagram.
After that, Nicolette held Gwendolyn's arm. “Gwen, your sons are so handsome. They will definitely
become campus hunks when they grow up.”
Nicolette had spent some time with the three children that day and took a photo of them. As soon as
she posted the picture on Instagram, it went viral.
Everyone agreed that the three children were drop-dead gorgeous and would undoubtedly grow into
exceptionally attractive adults.
Even her crush liked the photo, which had never happened before. He must have been impressed by
the three children's good looks as well.
Nicolette's face lit up with a sweet smile, for she was in a good mood.
Gwendolyn glanced at Nicolette from the corner of her eye before replying, “Yeah, they look lovely
indeed.”
Gwendolyn agreed with Nicolette's compliment, making no attempt to sound humble at all. Every
mother thought that their children were the loveliest in the world; Gwendolyn was no exception.
After Michael sent someone to go get Gwendolyn, she left Nicolette and stayed by Michael's side.
Michael brought her to meet many prominent figures in Avenport, introducing her as the eldest
daughter of the Ashton family.
Growing up in the Ashton residence, she had perfected her etiquette. Although it had been years since
she last attended such banquets, her innate elegance didn't change at all. She was gracious in her
responses to the guests.
At seven o'clock, Michael brought Gwendolyn onto the stage and formally introduced her.
Holding a microphone in his hand, he said, “Silence please, everyone.”
As soon as he spoke, everyone in the hall quieted down. At the same time, a group of people entered
the hall, and the man in the lead had a tall and majestic figure.
“Thank you for attending my granddaughter's celebration banquet. She received the best newcomer
award in Willowbank's fashion week,” Michael continued, his voice sounding authoritative.
Immediately, the audience erupted into a massive round of applause. Seeing that, Gwendolyn looked

Suddenly, she met Patrick's gaze. As he stared at her, his expression was glum.
She realized then that she had never told Patrick she was a part of the Ashton family. Furthermore,
Gwendolyn explained nothing when Felicia told him that she was merely the daughter of the Ashton
family's housekeeper.
Thus, he exuded coldness right now. A trace of a questioning look filled his gaze, causing Gwendolyn
to shudder.
Meanwhile, Michael smiled cheerfully and went on with his speech. “Today is a fantastic day. Allow me
to share something with you. Gwendolyn is my eldest granddaughter, and she is the Ashton family's
eldest daughter. All these years, she had been away from home to study. As a result, you may have
never heard of her. Today, I'd like to introduce her to you as my eldest granddaughter, Gwendolyn
Ashton.”
Another round of thunderous applause rang out, and someone in the audience shouted, “Nice to meet
you, Ms. Ashton!”
Gwendolyn waved at the audience. Prior to this, her smile was charming. At the moment, however, her
smile had become unnatural because of Patrick, for the way he looked at her was far too intimidating.
